NSE 5 – FortiManager 7.0 — Question 22

Which two statements regarding device management on FortiManager are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. FortiGate devices in an HA cluster are counted as a single device.
• B. FortiGate devices in transparent mode configurations are not counted toward the device count on FortiManager.
• C. The maximum number of managed devices for each ADOM is 500.
• D. FortiGate devices in an HA cluster that has five VDOMs are counted as five separate devices.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because FortiGate devices in an HA cluster are indeed counted as a single device for management purposes. Option D is also accurate because each VDOM in an HA cluster is treated as a separate device, leading to a higher count. Options B and C are incorrect; transparent mode devices are counted and the ADOM limit is not specifically set to 500 devices universally.
